About the law library
The Kansas Supreme Court Law Library is located on the first floor of the Kansas Judicial Center. It supports the legal research information needs of Kansas judges, court personnel, lawyers, state employees, students, and the public. Librarians may provide guidance and access to legal information, but they cannot provide legal advice.

U.S. Federal Depository Library
The U.S. Government Publishing Office through the Federal Depository Library Program distributes certain classes of government documents free of cost to federal depository libraries. These libraries must offer free, public access to their federal collections. Information specialists are available at these libraries to help people locate federal information.
The Supreme Court Law Library is a Congressionally designated depository of U.S. Government Documents. Public access to the government documents collection is guaranteed by public law. (Title 44 United States Code)
